What residential solar panels mean for the evolution of utilities
How much do you spend on electricity each month? The amount is largely determined by which state you live in. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), monthly electric bills are highest across the Sun Belt, especially in Alabama, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina and Texas. In each of these jurisdictions, the typical bill is $125 …
What Features are most Important when Selecting an Inverter?
Inverters are the cornerstones of solar PV projects. They convert the direct current (DC) energy generated by solar panels into an alternating current (AC) that the local electrical grid or an alternative off-grid network can harness. Their importance to solar power generation is reflected in their cost: They are typically among the largest hardware-related expenses …
